Beyond The Invisible by Enigma

I look into the mirror
See myself, I'm over me
I need space for my desires
Have to dive into my fantasies

I know as soon as I'll arrive
Everything is possible
Cause no one has   more...to hide
Beyond the invisible

Latvian chant
Sajaja bramani totari ta, raitata raitata,
radu ridu raitata, rota
(translation: The brave and wise men
came together on horse)

Close your eyes
Just feel and realize
It is real and not a dream
I'm in you and you're in me

It is time
To break the chains of life
If you follow you will see
What's beyond reality

Ne irascaris domine,
Ne ultra memineris iniquitatis:
Ecce civitas sancti facta est deserta:
Sion deserta facta est:
Ierusalem desolata est:
Domus sanctificationis tuae et
gloriae tuae
(translation: Do not be angry lord,
Or remember iniquity forever:
Behold the holy city is a desert:
Sion is mad a desert:
Jerusalem is desolate:
The house of your holiness and glory)

Buffalo Springfield ~ For What It's Worth

Sail On, Sailor was the final song recorded for the 1973 Beach Boys album Holland. The song was written over a period of two years by Beach Boy Brian Wilson, along with Van Dyke Parks (Brian's lyricist   more...for Smile), then-Beach Boys manager Jack Rieley, Ray Kennedy, and Tandyn Almer (composer of The Association's "Along Comes Mary").

"Sail On, Sailor" was released as a single in 1973, backed with "Only with You." However, the single only reached #79 on the singles charts. "Sail On, Sailor"/"Only with You" was rereleased in 1975, and ended up charting higher at #49. The song is still regarded as one of the Beach Boys' best songs of the 1970s, and one of Brian Wilson's last classic songs he wrote for the group.  less

We worked together to create this video as a modern interpretation of Jackson Browne's timeless commentary regarding the disasterous decisions and reckless foreign policies of politicians who, more often   more...than not, never served in wars and know little or nothing of the suffering they cause.

Album review (Answers.com): Political protest came out full force in Lives in the Balance (1986), an overt condemnation of Reaganism and American policy in Central America.

The album's context, of course, was five years of Ronald Reagan's presidency, with what the Left saw as an indifference to the plight of the poor at home and a dangerously aggressive policy against insurgent movements in the Central American countries of El Salvador and Nicaragua that they feared would lead to a Vietnam-like war.  less

"Cluster One" is the first song on Pink Floyd's 1994 album, The Division Bell. It is also the first Pink Floyd song credited to Wright/Gilmour since "Mudmen" from the 1972 album, Obscured   more...by Clouds.

It was never performed live by the band, though portions of it were included in the sound collage tape played before their 1994 concerts.

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose
That my life up here was slowly drifting by
And all I've got to do is sit and cry
The Earth is so clear and   more...it's simply a reach away
I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say
That my life once full was surely running dry
I prayed a while but then I had to cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It's no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme
Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by
And all I've got to do is sit and cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It's no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on

This video is a tribute to Jim Wilkins. Not only for providing the song for this video but to say "thank you" for your kindness, your generous spirit, and especially your friendship.

I enjoyed this song from the first time I heard it and I'm sure others will as well. I hope my video does it justice.  less

My second video production, not the best but I hope you enjoy the music. ;)

I first heard this song by Clive Gregson & Christine Collister (from their "Mischief" album, released in 1988)   more...on a low budget horror movie and immediately fell in love with it.

Answers.com bio: Clive Gregson and Christine Collister were the most moving and memorable U.K. folk-rock duo to emerge since Richard and Linda Thompson. Gregson's wry tales of the ins and outs of love, sung in Collister's heartbreaking voice have earned the duo (and subsequent solo work) respect and a devoted following though commercial success and mainstream recognition have eluded them.

In 1984, Gregson discovered Collister singing in a folk club and, impressed by her talents, he offered to work with her on future projects.

By 1992, the stress of constant touring and working together with out substantial success finally took its toll on them. The two decided to go their seperate ways after one parting shot,
"The Last Word", and one final tour.  less

Love Song For A Vampire was played during the end credits of Bram Stoker's Dracula, which happens to be one of my favorite movies.

Movie trivia: To keep the budget manageable, Columbia insisted that the   more...film be shot in Los Angeles and not on location.

Among those who auditioned for the part of Dracula were Andy Garcia, Gabriel Bryne, Armand Assante, Antonio Banderas and Viggo Mortensen.

It is well known that Ryder did not like Oldman and between scenes she avoided him whenever she could.

Francis Ford Coppola has openly criticized his own reasoning for casting Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker. According to him, he needed a young, hot star that would connect with the girls.

Lennox trivia: Released in 1993, Love Song For A Vampire is one of Lennox's many solo successes after her break with British musician David A. Stewart of the Eurythmics.  less

Space Oddity is a powerful narrative, echoing Arthur C. Clarke's book, and Stanley Kubrick's movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey, both released in 1968. The similarity in titles suggests that this film was on   more...Bowie's mind when he wrote it. The main character in that novel (and in the movie) is called "David Bowman".

The song is often interpreted to be about self-destruction and estrangement from humanity. Major Tom's cryptic last message, "Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles / I'm feeling very still / And I think my spaceship knows which way to go / Tell my wife I love her very much (She knows!)", suggests that he is still alive and well and chooses to kill his circuit to ground control.

Bowie seems to confirm this interpretation with his 1980 follow up to "Space Oddity", "Ashes to Ashes", where Ground control eventually receives a message from Major Tom: "I'm happy, hope you're happy too". Drug users, specifically those who experiment with hallucinogens, find the song took on new meaning following Bowie's battle with drugs in the 1970s. In "Ashes to Ashes", Major Tom's communication failure could be reinterpreted as losing human contact due to drugs. Space Oddity is often interpreted as "a bad trip". At the start of the song Major Tom takes pills ("take your protein pills and put your helmet on"), those pills have their effect ("and I'm floating in a most peculiar way / and the stars look very different today") but eventually Major Tom fails to come out of his trip.

In an interview on VH1 Legends in 1997, the narrator and Bowie himself stated that the inspiration was his relationship with Hermione Farthingale, a woman for whom Bowie had deep feelings.

This narrative continues in rock music throughout the late 20th century, both in Bowie's own work and that of others. As well as the aforementioned "Ashes to Ashes", Elton John's "Rocket Man" seems to allude to Major Tom, though not by name. It tells of an unnamed astronaut who is lonely in space, who is "not the man they think I am at home". Bowie alludes to this analogy in a live performance of "Space Oddity" released on the David Bowie BBC Sessions 1969-1972, in which he sings, "I'm just a rocketman!" In 1983, the German pop singer Peter Schilling released his own take on the story, entitled "Major Tom", although he denied for several years after the song's release that his Tom was the same as Bowie's, and even went so far as to claim he had never even heard Space Oddity.

Bowie himself returned to the subject on 1995's Outside album with the song "Hallo Spaceboy", and a hit single remixed by The Pet Shop Boys even included disjointed lyrics from the original "Space Oddity".

I mushed from Point Barrow through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon

As I walked in the   more...door the music was clear
The purtiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

(When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below)

It was Redheaded Lil who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon

With a caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a kodiak rug
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below

(When it's springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)  less
